SI Hip Groin Pain
I received about 6
Prolotherapy
treatments last year over an 8 month period of time for SI,
hip pain, and
groin pain. I
stopped prolo because I felt that, although not free from pain and still
restricted in activity, I had achieved remarkable results. Since discontinuing
prolo 5 months ago I have continued to manage my pain very well--perhaps, even
better than when I was actively treating.
I also stopped
physical therapy (which I did unsuccessfully for almost 2 years). I have less
pain, but I think I have lost some ground with muscle strength and stability.
I do not want to do anything that might set me back, but I DO want to get
better--all the way better.
Can you discuss the restorative phase of prolo treatment and discuss the
potential positive and negative outcomes of initiating treatment again?
A. Many people get Prolotherapy until they are about 90% better. At this
point they start a CORE exercise program (exercises to strengthen the abdominal
and back muscles). Generally because of the low
back pain or other pain they
have had for years, they suffer with body deconditioning. The reconditioning
phase to get back the muscle strength lost while having pain can take months or
years to truly get back.
It seems as though you are on the right track. The general rule is to increase
the exercise program gradually, letting pain be your guide. If a workout causes
a little muscle stiffness that is fine but it should not cause sharp pain. It
shouldn't cause pain that lasts more than a couple of hours. If it does then you
did too much and risk getting reinjured. If a person plateaus
see have I plateaued with
Prolotherapy? or their strength
doesn't come back in the injured area then a visit to the
Prolotherapy doctor should
be done.
